The One Nation Working Together March on Washington
Sponsored by the AFL-CIO, NAACP, La Raza and 100âs of progressive organizations the One Nation demonstration demanded jobs to put people to work, and back to work. Jobs, economic security, comprehensive immigration reform, safe and renewable energy policy and a reversal of national priorities from making wars to meeting human needs - thatâs the message! We marched to demand the change we voted for when Barack Obama was elected. Thatâs right - create jobs and stop moving money out of education and into wars & prisons.
Among those featured will be AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, U.S. Representative Luis Gutierrez, Darlene Nipper, Deputy Exec. Director, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, Cecil Robert, Pres. United Mine Workers, Arthur Cheliotos,Pres of Local 1180, CWA and a remarkable call for Jobs, Peace and Justice from the great Harry Belafonte along with the voices of American workers for Jobs with Justice
